EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Boston Celts Cinch For Division Title By UNITED PRESS It's now a runaway in the Eastern Division of the National Basketball Assn. where the Bos ton Celtics have opened a 7,i game lead with a seven-game winning streak. The Celtics took their latest giant stride toward the regular season division title by whipping the Philadelphia Warriors, 105 95, Monday night at the Boston Garden after Syracuse had beaten Minneapolis, 112-96, in the first game of the double header. The loss dropped the War riors into third place, less than one percentage point behind the idle New York Knicks. Boston took a 10-point lead in the opening minutes and led the rest of the way despite War rior rallies in the second and fourth periods, Bob Cousy had 22 points and Tom Heinsohn 21 to lead the Celtics, but Paul Arizin of the Warriors took in dividual honors with 24. In the opener, the only other league game Monday night. Jonn Kerr's five baskets in the fourth period helped Syracuse break out of a tie to beat Minneapolis. Kerr led the Nats with 26 points but Dick Carmaker of the Lakers had 28. Oliva Top Raider Scorer; McAbee, D'Olivo Eligible Ashland Freshman center Norman Oliva leads Southern Oregon college basketball scor ers through 18 games. Oliva has scored 259 points for a 14.4 game average. Bill Hollingsworth, junior for ward who missed the first eight games of the season is back in the scoring parade and has the best game average with 18.6. He has dunked 186 points since joining the team and has been a key figure in the Red Raider offense as SOC gained a 4-4 won loss record in Oregon Collegiate conference competition through the first half of the schedule. Two new faces will be in the Red Raider line-up when the Red and Black goes into action again this week-end at La Grande against Eastern Oregon college. A pair of sophomore transfers, Dave D'Olivo and Jim McAbee will give the Raid ers of Coach Ted Schopf much needed strength. D'Olivo, 6-4, ex-Klamath Falls High forward and McAbee. 5-11, Ex-Talent guard, are eligible after sitting out an 18-week period because of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics trans fer ruling. The two attended University of Oregon last year. Seeks Balanced Crew With the 10-day layoff from the OCC hoop schedule, there's an opportunity for Coach Ted Schopf to get together a bal anced Raider unit which can remain intact for the remainder of the season. Southern Oregon this season has had a variety of faces in the varsity lineups. The Red Raiders were handi capped in the early part of the season when Hollingsworth and Ron Owings were ineligible. As soon as they could play, Don Rposp Don Jacobson and Bruce I Penny were then place on the.' G FGM BUI Hollineswortll Norman Oliva Chuck Crandall Dale Batei Ted Tenney Ron Owing -. .

The University of Washington and Oregon, both members of the Pacfiic Coast Conference, meet in Seattle in a non-conference game; College of Pacific and Santa Clara engage in the only California Basketball As sociation contest, and San Diego meets Los Angeles States. However, two of the games involve top teams. Washington leads the PCC in victories with seven, but stands third on the basis of a single loss. Unbeaten California and UCLA have won six and four games, respectively. Santa Clara is presently tied with St. Mary's for first in the CBA with records of 3-1. A Bron co victory tonight would give Santa Clara the conference lead The Huskies, with a pair of towering stars like Bruno Boin and Doug Smart, should have no trouble scoring a victory to night. Oregon is the cellar dweller of the PCC with a rec ord of 1-5. Santa Clara has beaten COP once, and according to statistics, should be able to do it again. ineligible list because of schol astic deficiencies. Al Christensen, a guard from Bend, dropped out of school re cently to further handicap the Red Raiders in their aim for the OCC crown. However, as the Red Raiders get down to serious business for the rest of this week, coach Schopf is still wearing a broad grin. He still possesses one of the finest basketball prospects to ever come out of a B school in Oliva, an 18-year-old fresh man from Malin. During Oliva's junior and senior years he led the Malin high Mustangs to the state B basketball finals. He was named unanimously to the all state first team both years. Breaks Rebound Record Oliva in addition to leading his team in scoring, heads .the Red Raiders in field goal ac curacy from 88 goals out of 182 attempts. He has broken the school record of 294 rebounds with 349 through 18 games. Another bright spot on the Red Raider varsity is Charlie Crandall, a 20-year-old junior from Coos Bay. Crandall is third in the scoring parade with 148 points. He leads the team in free throw average at a .772 clip for 44 dunks out of 57 attempts. Crandall is second to Oliva in field goal accuracy with a .468. This Friday and Saturday nights' games with Eastern Ore gon have boiled down to a make or break affair for SOC. SOC needs to win both if they are to remain in OCC contention. Coach Schopf's lineup will probably feature Norm Oliva and Dave D'Olivo at forwards, Hollingsworth at center, and Chuck Crandall and Dale Bates, lone senior on the club, at guards.

Sport Parade Miami (U.R) Ted Williams, baseball's greatest hitter, today modestly identified Mickey Man tle 'as "the best batter of this era" and added that the New York Yankees again would be the team to beat for the Ameri can League pennant. Williams, lean, tanned and fit, will go to Boston on Friday to sign his sixth contract at an estimated $100,000 for another season as the big stick of the Boston Red Sox. And the four time batting .champion left no doubt but what he expected to give Mantle a run for the crown in the coming season. "Mantle surely was entitled to the batting championship," said Williams of the Oklahoma kid who won the American League title with a .359 mark against his .345 percentage and a life time average of .348. "Mickey is certainly the best hitter of this era and should wind up as one of the all-time greats," Ted added with con viction. "But I am sure that, the way 1 feel, I can play at least 100 games this season." Hopes for 25 Homers Ted also grinned that he "thought" he could hit "at least .330 and maybe bang about 25 home runs." "Meanwhile," he added, "I'm going to try to beat that young fellow from the Yankees out of the batting championship and the new rule which includes bases on balls in the necessary 477 times at bat doesn't figure to hurt me too much." As one of the perennial lead ers in walks, Williams figures to benefit greatly from the new ruling. With his walks being counted, won't have to go for the bad pitches coming down the stretch to get the previously- Sandy Amoros is Bum Holdout; NY Signs 2 By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Don't look now but Sandy Amoros, the Dodgers' perpetual problem child, is plaguing 'em again.- , Sandy, who gets into all kinds of hot water with bobbles, boners and what-nots in Brook lyn's stretch run last September, only to emerge as a hero in the AD LEATHERS VIEW'S SHOP MEDFORD By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press needed 400 at-bats necessary to be eligiblle for the batting cham pionship. Williams, always a forthright talker, asserted that the Ameri can League pennant race was "between the Yankees and seven contenders." "I hope I'm not misunder stood, again," he laughed. "I think our Red Sox have a ter rific potential and you can bet we'll give it a run all the way. But who's going to deny that the Yankees are the team to beat?" Respects Larsen's Pitching Ted admitted, too, that he has for a long time had a terrific regard for Don Larsen,1he Yan kees' no-hit World Series hero. "Way back when he was with the St. Louis Browns I said he was the most deceptive pitcher I had seen in a lohg time." Ted explained. "Well, I think the Dodgers will agree with me, anyhow." Williams, who still carries a 10-inch pin in his shoulder as result of a shoulder separation operation several years back, said that it bothered him now only during cold weather. "I feel great and I'm looking forward to this season and several more," he reiterated. "I'd like to win that batting championship again and may be again." Which, considering his ad miration of Mantle, may be something of an enigma. But then, you have to remember that the immortal Ty Cobb named Williams as the greatest hitter of this era and from the looks of tall Ted, his era, isn't anywhere near ended. Rhode Island entered the Un ion as a state in 1790. subsequent battle for the pen nant, probably will come out all right again but right now he wants more money. Amoros, who batted .260 in 114 games, is one of the three remaining unsigned Dodger players. The other two are in fielder Chico Fernandez and pitcher Bob Darnell. Cama Through In Clutch Playing in the Cuba winter league, now Sandy undoubtedly remembers how some of his Dodger teammates took him over the coals for costing them a crucial game against the Phil lies in the last month of the 195b campaign. Shortly after ward, however, he came through with a couple of key hits. At any rate, Sandy is having his troubles getting base hits in Cuba at the moment (hes bat ting less than .250) and he's in no particular hurry to sign his contract and shoot it back to the Brooklyn front office. Brooklyn had better luck with four of its other players today, however, with the receipt of signed contracts from catcher Al (Rube) Walker and outfield ers Gino Cimoli, Bert Hamric and Bob Wilson. Giants Sign Two Outfielder Dusty Rhodes and catcher Bill Sarni agreed to terms with the Giants, making a total of 25 who have signed with the club so far. Ray Crone and Taylor Phil lips, two pitchers who figure prominently in Milwaukee's plans, signed their contracts with the Braves. Phillips had a 6-5 record with the Braves aft er joining them in mid-season from Wichita and Crone, used chiefly in relief, won 11 games and lost 10. Relief pitcher Joe Dahlke and utility outfielder John "Bubba" Phillips signed with the White Sox, bringing their total to 17, and the Orioles made it 20 men in tow with the signing of catcher Joe Ginsberg and rookie outfielder Angelo Eagres. Wildlife Conservation Stamps Now Being Distributed by NWF Washington, D.C. Wildlife homes are given special atten tion in the 20th annual wild life conservation stamps', the 1957 series now being distribut ed by the National Wildlife fed eration. Six of the thirty-six stamps, reproductions of water-color paintings by leading nature art ists, show typical forms of na tural wildlife homes. A barn owl, for example, is shown de livering food to fledglings in a hollow-tree nest. Beavers are shown constructing a lodge, and another stamp depicts the tiny underwater "cradle" built by the little fish known as the stickleback. Another group of six stamps shows wildlife homes of the kind that can be provided by man in conservation projects. Separate subjects depict a nest ing box for wood ducks; a mul tiflora rose hedge providing cover for quail and other small game; a brush pile for cotton tails; marsh management for waterfowl; and a farm pond, which can provide haven for many forms of wildlife. The subjects showing homes of wild creatures tie in with the "make - a - Dlace-for-wildlife" theme of National Wildlife Week, to be observed by con servation groups throughout the country March 17 to 23. Twenty-four of the stamps follow tradition by presenting portraits of beautiful and inter esting species of wild birds, mammals, fishes and wild flow ers. The Federation's art staff is headed by Roger Tory Peter son, best known for his illust rated "Field Guide to the Birds." Peterson as usual con tributed the bird and wild flow er portraits. Other artists rep resented in the 1957 series are Roger Preuss, Minneapolis; May nard Reece, Des Moines; and Larry Horn Gets Second Le on Hndican Troohv Larry Horn broke 46 out of 50 birds Sunday to win a sec ond leg on the Ed Pease handi cap trophy in trapshooting at Medford Gun club. He needs only one more win to retire the trophy. Horn's father, Jim Horn, was runner-un with 45 in the handi cap on Sunday. Scores turned in for the Northwest Spokesman Review skeet telegraphic shoot were Martin Clogston, 24. Bert Peck, 24 and Don Hawk, 23, a 71 total. Jim Horn shattered 25 straight targets in 16-yard shoot ing on Sunday and Clogston had 25 straight in the handicap. There were 15 shooters and they fired at 1650 targets. Members will have another practice affair next Sunday for their annual Red and Blue team shoot which is planned for Feb. 10.

Hines will be recognized as the federal Fish and Wildlife Ser vice artist who produced the special "wildlife conservation" stamps issued last year by the U. S. post office department. First in 1938 The famous wildlife conser vation stamps have become an American institution since the first series was painted in 1938 by Ding Darling, noted news paper cartoonist and first pres ident of the National Wildlife federation. Since then they have financed scores of educational and research projects and help ed build the Federation into the nation's largest conservation or ganization. Reproduced in six-color lith ography for natural appearance, the stamps are distributed by mail to conservation-minded cit izens throughout the nation. During 1956 the wildlife stamp receipts, as in past years, paid for the federation's auth oritative legislative reporting service covering all bills and actions of Congress that affect natural resources. They helped finance conservation workshops for school teachers and youth groups in 14 states and provid ed graduate fellowships and scholarships in six colleges and universities. The federation also prepares and distributes teach ing aids and reference mater ials to schools. DID YOU KNOW You Can Get Buys Liks These? 1957 Mere. Monterey 2-Door Sedan $2935.00 1957 Merc.
